In his speech, Schennach emphasized the enormous national and international challenges that the new cabinet has to face, in particular the consolidation of the budget in an environment of Inflation and unemployment as well as an impending decline in business. He stated that it was essential to use both banks and energy companies to finance the budget deficit. This reported OTS .
